I'm a Newbie I read a lot and lik ed to learn I really like to try different and maybe odd stuff. I started with a kit. But now enjoy making country wines. Fun to use what you have on hand. I made a cherry wine tasted great but I'm waiting to open, also have a I call it ginger cookie mead have several of the spices of gingerbread cookies. This spring I started a oak leaf wine, now I just started a red clover wine.i do have a question. My oak leaf wine quit fermenting about 6% alcohol hydrometer still floats is very sweet.it is a gal I used 3 lbs sugar
Can I do anything to get it to ferment the rest of th e sugar.

Welcome to WMT, spunk!

Sorry, I am not quite able to understand what you are trying to say here.

Let's start by asking what your starting specific gravity (SG) was, and what it is now.

Ok this app keeps shuting down on me before I finish. 1.13 SG start. Now it is on the section that says beer 32 is that 1.032. Way to sweet can I fix. Not fermenting at all. I should have watered down a bit. Sorry this third time to type this before it shuts down on me. The hydrometer is kinda confusing to me. Thanks

Good video I watched several so I started too high SG 1.13 I believe the yeast finished at 1.032. Too much sugar. It's about right at the beginning SG for beer making. Anyhow I think I will buy some more yeast and add yeast nutrient. And see what happens. So not sure what alcohol in it now. Or add to a dry wine. I'm learning as I go.
